If I ever repaint my living room, I'm taking a copy of that 4th photo to Home Depot and having their computer-mixing guru reproduce that green. It's a wonderful color.
Have you read Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek? She tells the story of a doctor who brought vision to people who'd never seen. They didn't "get" three dimension. they saw things as "color patches". That's what that blue and green reminded me of - color patches.

Oh good . . . then maybe it's not just me!

Color patches are good and organic in nature. And yes, I've read "Pilgrim" and found it beyond superb. Good luck on the green.
